Richardson M.T. Practical Blacksmithing - The Original Classic in One Volume - Over 1,000 Illustrations 1978 [pdf 1115sc 51.78mb]

Originally published in four volumes, Practical Blacksmithing
remains as relevant now as it was at the turn of the twentieth century.
Featuring an abundance of information and over 1,000 illustrations,
this guide provides everything you need to understand the techniques and
craftsmanship of blacksmithing. Processes covered include soldering,
welding, brazing, forging, tempering, cutting, bending, setting,
drilling, fullering, and swaging. Richardson also describes the usage of
a variety of smithing equipment such as forges, anvils, and a variety
of tools.
This unabridged guide covers every aspect of working
with iron and steel with an assortment of diagrams and concise
instructions. Richardson explains strength tests for wrought iron and
steel, heating and hardening steel, rotting and crystallization of iron,
selecting quality steel, restoring burnt steel, artistic ironwork, and
the general usefulness of these metals. Learn how to work on chains,
knives, sleds, wagons, horseshoes, and more. Inside you will also find
plans for blacksmith shops, which detail chimney building, forge
construction, and blueprints for a variety of workbenches.
The
tool collector will also find this guide of immense value as Richardson
covers the history of blacksmithing tools. He provides a catalog of
antique tools, which are no longer commercially available, accompanied
by instructions for repairing, preserving, and replicating them.
Similarly, this book provides historians with a glimpse into the
progression of metalworking and its aesthetics and also includes an
addendum of original advertisements printed in the original editions of
the late 1800s.
M. T. Richardson's Practical Blacksmithing is the comprehensive guide for modern artisans of this ancient craft.
